Description Thomas Pfeiffer 2013-04-24 21:37:51 UTC 
This is a rather abstract wish because I don't have specific design ideas in mind yet, but in the future we definitely need a way to display long file names in Files. Maybe in the detailed view we've planned for showing metadata for a single file? Currently if you have two files with long names which differ for example only in end of the name, you cannot tell them apart in Files at all.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Files
2. Choose Documents
3. Compare some of the example documents, e.g. the two shown as "example-presentation-pp..."
Actual Results:  
You cannot tell the files apart

Expected Results:  
There is a way to see the full file name for a given file
